Can anyone help?
I have been running for a number of years now and have managed to stay relatively injury free over that time, however, recently whilst upping my mileage a little in prep for a half mara in Sept, I have been having problems with my left foot post runs.
The only way I can describe it is like shin splints on the top of my foot (there is a little swelling aswell), it doesn't hurt while I am running, it is usually a number of hours after, I ran 12.2 miles on Sunday and Monday I was limping, it was fine again by Wed so I did a 6.5 tempo run last night and it was fine and now it is starting to hurt again, can anyone advise?
I do a mix of trail and road running, got the right shoes etc but this is starting to get me down now, I'm feeling quite fit at the moment and don't really want to reduce my running as worried about losing fitness, I guess I am doing between 25-30 miles per week atm
help!

There is no swelling, right foot mainly aches across toes, underneath right side of foot,in fact nearly everywhere.!! Alright once i am running but really stiff and achy next couple of days.....what is it....please...!!!!
I am going to jog today, feet do not ache as much, but i still felt them when i was walking the dogs over multi terrain.
Will let you know!
In agree with D2D
If you push very lightly on the top of your foot (on the painful bit) does it feel crunchy?
